Brain Dissection Aim: the aim is to dissect the brain and identify all the different parts of it. Equipment: a semi –frozen sheep’s brain‚ dissecting board‚ dissecting instruments (scalpel‚ forceps‚ scissors)‚ plastic ruler‚ paper towel and gloves. Method: * We placed the brain so that the cerebral hemispheres are at the top of the board and the brain stem is at the bottom. * My group identified the external features of the brain: the cerebral hemispheres‚ cerebellum and brain stem.
